Closing and re-opening the dialog has no effect. Calc has to be restarted to clear the problem. Steps to reproduce: 1. Right click on any Calc cell 2. Select Format Cell Current behavior: Dialog is partly transparent or perhaps it would be better to say its contents are mostly missing. Expected behavior: Dialog allows formatting of cell with all contents visible. Please note: This doesn't happen all of the time but has happened often enough for me to report this as a bug. I'm using Kubuntu 14.04, fully updated with LibreOffice loaded from PPA. The previous version, in the Ubuntu archive (4.1.3?) also exhibits this problem.
